common questions
What counts as "active" time?
Active time is when your Scribe is actually working: reasoning, browsing, writing, and calling APIs. Time between your messages while the Scribe waits for instructions is never billed.
How is billing calculated exactly?
We sum every active work span in a session, round the total up to the nearest 2 minutes, and charge $0.50 per minute ($30/hr). Each Scribe has a $20/mo minimum. If your usage is less than that, the minimum applies. If it is more, you only pay for what you use.
What happens when a Scribe is waiting?
Waiting is not active work. If a Scribe pauses for approval, a login code, a file, or a decision from you, the clock stops until it starts working again.
Can I set a budget?
Yes. Start with one Scribe, one queue, and a narrow standing order. Usage is visible in the dashboard, and each charge maps back to the work that produced it.
What can a Scribe do?
Anything you'd hand to a smart, capable person with a computer. Research, outreach, data entry, content drafting, managing accounts, reviewing documents. If it can be done on a screen or through an API, a Scribe can handle it.
How do I know what my Scribe did?
Every action a Scribe takes is logged — what it did, why, and when. You get a full transcript of every action. No black boxes.
